Hybrid (Cynodonn dactylon × C. transvaalensis) is a widely distributed turfgrass and shows a great value of environment, horticulture and economic. Though, the chloroplast genome of C. dactylon has been reported, it might be helpful finding reasons that triploid bermudagrass shows a better drought and trampling tolerance than common bermudagrass through comparing chloroplast genome analysis. The present results showed the complete chloroplast genome of the C. dactylon × C. transvaalensis is 134655 bp in length. The tetramerous genome contained a large single copy (LSC) region (79,998 bp), a small single copy (SSC) region (12,517 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (42,140 bp). In the chloroplast genome, 116 genes were predicted, including 83 protein-coding, 29 tRNA and 4 rRNA genes. Furthermore, a total of 80 repeat sequences were identified. Only 0.23% intergenicnon-collinear sequences were found between the chloroplast genome of Cynodon dactylon × C. transvaalensis and Cynodon dactylon.

We sequenced and analyzed the complete chloroplast genome of Aster tataricus (family Asteraceae), a Chinese herb used medicinally to relieve coughs and reduce sputum. The A. tataricus chloroplast genome was 152,992 bp in size, and harbored a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRa and IRb, each 24,850 bp) divided into a large single-copy (LSC, 84,698 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC, 18,250 bp) region. Our annotation revealed that the A. tataricus chloroplast genome contained 115 genes, including 81 protein-coding genes, 4 ribosomal RNA genes, and 30 transfer RNA genes. In addition, 70 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were detected in the A. tataricus chloroplast genome, including mononucleotides (36), dinucleotides (1), trinucleotides (23), tetranucleotides (1), pentanucleotides (8), and hexanucleotides (1). Comparative chloroplast genome analysis of three Aster species indicated that a higher similarity was preserved in the IR regions than in the LSC and SSC regions, and that the differences in the degree of preservation were slighter between A. tataricus and A. altaicus than between A. tataricus and A. spathulifolius. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. tataricus was more closely related to A. altaicus than to A. spathulifolius. Our findings offer valuable information for future research on Aster species identification and selective breeding.

Argania spinosa (Sapotaceae), an important endemic Moroccan oil tree, is a primary source of argan oil, which has numerous dietary and medicinal proprieties. The plant species occupies the mid-western part of Morocco and provides great environmental and socioeconomic benefits. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of A. spinosa was sequenced, assembled, and analyzed in comparison with those of two Sapotaceae members. The A. spinosa cp genome is 158,848 bp long, with an average GC content of 36.8%. The cp genome exhibits a typical quadripartite and circular structure consisting of a pair of inverted regions (IR) of 25,945 bp in length separating small single-copy (SSC) and large single-copy (LSC) regions of 18,591 and 88,367 bp, respectively. The annotation of A. spinosa cp genome predicted 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes (CDS), 8 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, and 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. A total of 44 long repeats and 88 simple sequence repeats (SSR) divided into mononucleotides (76), dinucleotides (7), trinucleotides (3), tetranucleotides (1), and hexanucleotides (1) were identified in the A. spinosa cp genome. Phylogenetic analyses using the maximum likelihood (ML) method were performed based on 69 protein-coding genes from 11 species of Ericales. The results confirmed the close position of A. spinosa to the Sideroxylon genus, supporting the revisiting of its taxonomic status. The complete chloroplast genome sequence will be valuable for further studies on the conservation and breeding of this medicinally and culinary important species and also contribute to clarifying the phylogenetic position of the species within Sapotaceae.

The plant “False Lily of the Valley”, Speirantha gardenii is restricted to south-east China and considered as an endemic plant. Due to its limited availability, this plant was less studied. Hence, this study is focused on its molecular studies, where we have sequenced the complete chloroplast genome of S. gardenii and this is the first report on the chloroplast genome sequence of Speirantha. The complete S. gardenii chloroplast genome is of 156,869 bp in length with 37.6% GC, which included a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) each of 26,437 bp that separated a large single-copy (LSC) region of 85,368 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,627 bp. The chloroplast genome comprises 81 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA and four rRNA unique genes. Furthermore, a total of 699 repeats and 805 simple-sequence repeats (SSRs) markers are identified in the genome. Additionally, KA/KS nucleotide substitution analysis showed that seven protein-coding genes have highly diverged and identified nine amino acid sites under potentially positive selection in these genes. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that S. gardenii species has a closer genetic relationship to the Reineckea, Rohdea and Convallaria genera. The present study will provide insights into developing a lineage-specific marker for genetic diversity and gene evolution studies in the Nolinoideae taxa.

Caylusea hexagyna and Ochradenus baccatus are two species in the Resedaceae family. In this study, we analysed the complete plastid genomes of these two species using high-throughput sequencing technology and compared their genomic data. The length of the plastid genome of C. hexagyna was 154,390 bp while that of O. baccatus was 153,380 bp. The lengths of the inverted repeats (IR) regions were 26,526 bp and 26,558 bp, those of the large single copy (LSC) regions were 83,870 bp and 83,023 bp; and those of the small single copy (SSC) regions were 17,468 bp and 17,241 bp in C. hexagyna and O. baccatus, respectively. Both genomes consisted of 113 genes: 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes and 4 rRNA genes. Repeat analysis showed that the plastid genome included all types of repeats, with more frequent occurrences of palindromic sequences. Comparative studies of SSR markers showed that there were 256 markers in C. hexagyna and 255 in O. baccatus; the majority of the SSRs in these plastid genomes were mononucleotide repeats (A/T). All the clusters in the phylogenetic tree had high support. This study reported the first complete plastid genomes of the genera Caylusea and Ochradenus and the first for the Resedaceae family.

Abstract Stryphnodendron adstringens is a medicinal plant belonging to the Leguminosae family, and it is commonly found in the southeastern savannas, endemic to the Cerrado biome. The goal of this study was to assemble and annotate the chloroplast genome of S. adstringens and to compare it with previously known genomes of the mimosoid clade within Leguminosae. The chloroplast genome was reconstructed using de novo and referenced-based assembly of paired-end reads generated by shotgun sequencing of total genomic DNA. The size of the S. adstringens chloroplast genome was 162,169 bp. This genome included a large single-copy (LSC) region of 91,045 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 19,014 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRa and IRb) of 26,055 bp each. The S. adstringens chloroplast genome contains a total of 111 functional genes, including 77 protein-coding genes, 30 transfer RNA genes, and 4 ribosomal RNA genes. A total of 137 SSRs and 42 repeat structures were identified in S. adstringens chloroplast genome, with the highest proportion in the LSC region. A comparison of the S. adstringens chloroplast genome with those from other mimosoid species indicated that gene content and synteny are highly conserved in the clade. The phylogenetic reconstruction using 73 conserved coding-protein genes from 19 Leguminosae species was supported to be paraphyletic. Furthermore, the noncoding and coding regions with high nucleotide diversity may supply valuable markers for molecular evolutionary and phylogenetic studies at different taxonomic levels in this group.

Cyperus esculentus produces large amounts of oil as one of the main oil storage reserves in underground tubers, making this crop species not only a promising resource for edible oil and biofuel in food and chemical industry, but also a model system for studying oil accumulation in non-seed tissues. In this study, we determined the chloroplast genome sequence of the cultivated C. esculentus (var. sativus Boeckeler). The results showed that the complete chloroplast genome of C. esculentus was 186,255 bp in size, and possessed a typical quadripartite structure containing one large single copy (100,940 bp) region, one small single copy (10,439 bp) region, and a pair of inverted repeat regions of 37,438 bp in size. Sequence analyses indicated that the chloroplast genome encodes 141 genes, including 93 protein-coding genes, 40 transfer RNA genes, and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. We also identified 396 simple-sequence repeats and 49 long repeats, including 15 forward repeats and 34 palindromes within the chloroplast genome of C. esculentus. Most of these repeats were distributed in the noncoding regions. Whole chloroplast genome comparison with those of the other four Cyperus species indicated that both the large single copy and inverted repeat regions were more divergent than the small single copy region, with the highest variation found in the inverted repeat regions. In the phylogenetic trees based on the complete chloroplast genomes of 13 species, all five Cyperus species within the Cyperaceae formed a clade, and C. esculentus was evolutionarily more related to C. rotundus than to the other three Cyperus species. In summary, the chloroplast genome sequence of the cultivated C. esculentus provides a valuable genomic resource for species identification, evolution, and comparative genomic research on this crop species and other Cyperus species in the Cyperaceae family.
